Software Reviews and Criticism


  • By Eddie Tragic

    not really for a learner of Japanese

    I am an intermediate to advanced learner of Japanese. I do not recommend this application for a learner of Japanese. I bought it because I wanted natural sounding examples. There are plenty, but not always for the Japanese word you search for. You just get a couple English equivalents, then a bunch of natural examples for those equivalents and their Japanese translations, and these do not necessarily include the original Japanese word you looked up. UPDATE: I wrote to the developer of this application, and I must say that they were very responsive to my concerns. They pointed out that this application is really geared toward a native Japanese speaker, and not to a Japanese language learner, and they said they would look over the application description to see that this is made more clear. Meanwhile, I can say the developer seems very responsive to customer feedback, and that bodes well for the developer's other apps. And of course for this one, which does look helpful for a native Japanese speaker learning English. UPDATE (Nov. 1): One irritating thing about this app is it doesn't seem to update through iTunes. The updates only seem to show up on my iOS devices.

    Great for Japanese speakers and Intermediate to Advanced Students

    Don't get this if you're a beginner, but it's great for people that have been studying for years. It fills in some of the weaker points of other dictionaries by providing words like "a priori" and "G-8". Great index and easy to use search. Audio quality is 4 out of 5 for an app.

    Not impressed

    I am not that impressed by this dictionary considering its price. First, it is a bit slow but I suppose that is understandable since its a phone. But more importantly its easier to use as an Japanese -> English dictionary than the other way around. The example, you can search in both English and Japanese but pronunciations are only for the English translation and not for Japanese. I find this disappointing. I would like the option to strip off the English pronunciation to save space and the option to add pronunciation for the Japanese words - though I suppose this is less critical since Japanese is a phonetic language unlike Japanese!
